Hey all,
After lurking on here for probably the past couple years I finally registered, to access the vast wealth of air ride knowledge available here.
I picked up my 2012 Kia Rio hatch back in April of 12, and wasted almost no time modding it. My previous ride was a Genesis Coupe 2.0T Premium, and I could never afford to do anything to it. This was not something I wanted to repeat.
I found a dealer who was willing to put the time in to import a set of SMA SS6 coilovers for it back in mid -13...so I've been riding on those since then. To my knowledge, it's the first Rio in the US on coilovers. Now I want to take the next step.
Currently it's on Varrstoen T1's (16x8, +25) and yes, I know they're "fake" TE37s. No, I would never spend the money on "real" TE37's. I've curbed these a few times and it's a lot easier to take on a set of $500 rims that a $12000 set of rims. lol
Clearly, it needs moar low.
The plan is to order UAS Aero Sports (along with threaded plates) for the front, probably some Air House 2's for the rear. Most of the components will probably come from Bagriders. I plan to (eventually) run Autopilot V2 for management (Air Lift is only about 45 mins from my house), but may start with a simple 2 switch FB setup to see if I even like it on air.
Oh, I'm from Michigan in case the screen name didn't give it away.
